The way the elder lady’s voice broke as she spoke shattered my heart. How can people be so heartless? Edit: I’m talking about the ACTUAL elder lady, not the guy with the voice changer. I thought people would catch that…
The fact that this man got a team together, cut and edited all the clips, edited the RUclips video, and educated us on the situation and how scams work.
Yep, pretty cool. Sad for the people who did stuff like this before, but don’t get the same recognition because of RUclips’s favoritism. Mark Rober is truly laying down the foundation
My grandpa got scammed once. The scammer some how found out about the death of a family member and tried to take advantage of that for money. Mark keep doing what your doing. I want to see these people brought to justice.
I felt so bad for Mrs. Bessie 😢 The fact that the scammer had no remorse is just sick smh- when she started crying he started begging for the money. Thank you for doing this to these gross scammers.
the fact that mark rober used his engineering career to spread so much knowledge and entertainment for others instead of just being an office engineer is so inspiring to me. i dont even have an interest in engineering and this guy makes it sound like the most fun job in the world
Right? I don't have a head for math or spatial stuff AT ALL, and honestly not a lot of interest in learning...yet his enthusiasm has me like "F*ck yeah I'll pay for that class!"

We organize similar sessions as part of our comp sci degree. Not only about security and fraud but it's the one our group chose. More common scams here are call scams. Where they trick people to call back to a pay per minute number. A little understanding goes a long way for these victims.
@@MarkRober oh wow, i was definitely not expecting a response lol. just want to say thank you for all the awesome things you do/how you use your platform. you are for sure one of my favourite creators on the app, have a great day and i can’t wait for the second part to this :)
You really get the impression from watching scammer exposed channels that they not only don't think of the people they're scamming as people, but they don't even have the concept that anything they're doing is wrong. To them this is just work and they're just earning money.
this sounds like every single big thing in the world today like: "some kids were bored and made a video sharing platform called youtube and now it's a multimillion dollar corporation" Who knows? Maybe Mark will stop all scams in the future!
I relate. After my bike was stolen, I really wanted to get a GPS tracker and put it on cheap bikes in the same location and hunt down the thieves. But the cash investment was more than I could really justify. Would be way easier and cheaper to pull off than this though... I don't know why police don't just always have like 50 bait bikes around town waiting to get stolen.
I love the progression of this series. Mark built a glitter bomb because he was angry with porch pirates and now he’s helping the FBI and Homeland Security take down scammers😂
People like these are awful. My neighbourhood is filled with porch pirates. I ordered a mic for recording audio for my channel and someone stole it yesterday from my porch
Just showed this video to an elderly lady who was certain that a refund had gone wrong and she owed her bank $10,000 in target gift cards. She was so convinced until she saw the video, thank you for saving her money.
@@catinthehat5140 I believe the explanation she was given was that Target, Walmart and [insert large company that sells gift cards here] is a partner with the bank, so they can recoup the funds that way.
@@catinthehat5140 They wouldn't. But scammers target people who are easily overwhelmed and confused. Often it's older people who are starting to suffer from senility, or who are having emotional problems. I loved my grandma, and she was very intelligent in her day. But near the end for her, if she didn't check with my dad before every financial decision, she might have fallen for something like this. She was trusting of people she thought were authority figures, and very anxious a lot of the time. They take advantage of that.
they made that grandma cry, they made her really think that he was gonna lose his job and his family will starve. I hate being on the same planet as these monsters
Thats insane Mark. I would never have courage to catch golpists or even exposing them. Thats crazyyy asf. Youre brave! I would be scare to put myself or my family in risk.
I am a 67 year old man. Although I am not a cop, my own father was NYPD, so I was taught at an early age to watch out for scammers. I also want to thank you for saving those two ladies who where about to be scammed. Bless you, Mark !
I love how Mark has evolved from “ let’s do some cool ridiculous science!” To “let’s burn the scamming industry down to the ground through the power of glitter!”
isnt it amazing how this started off as getting back at porch pirates and now it involves a whole international operation to fight off scammers and help the elderly. mark rober and jim have straight up become superheroes
Me neither, I feel like him getting a package stolen has made a positive impact on his life overall. After getting just one package stolen, he has gotten revenge on many package thieves and now a scammer.
My great grandma got a call from a scammer and she was going along with what the scammer was telling her to do for about 20 minutes. then the scammer told her to click on an icon on the screen. she told the scammer that she didn’t see the icon on her screen. The scammer was confused about why she didn’t see the icon until my great grandma said “maybe its because I don’t have a computer.” So basically my great grandma had wasted more than 20 minutes of the scammer’s time, which i think is great.
Ok, I'm normally a pretty calm and unbothered person, but the audio recording of the scammer scamming that woman litteraly made me sick. The pure manipulation and lies disgusted me completely. I cannot be more grateful for Mark to have helped put people like this behind bars, noone deserves to be treated like this, and those who willingly do these kinds of actions towards other people are really really despicable human beings.
Yeah totally I literally wanted to cry because of him just manipulating a innocent woman. I can only image how horrible it feels to be a victim in one of these scams.
I agree. Just horrible. Disgusting. I can't even believe that people would manipulate others like this. Especially the woman. She was basically being harassed by the man. It's just really really sad. I'm just angry right now. I don't know who would do this, especially for an amount like 20,000 dollars. It seems like she needed that money, and I feel bad. I don't have anything to do with this phone scamming, but I still feel bad.
her crying at 10:15 and him pretending to sympathise by saying "I'm getting attached to you" has my blood boiling. how do these people sleep at night? thank you for getting revenge on these terrible people.
that heartless scammer who kept saying how she was like his grandmother and proceeded to manipulate her and make her cry really broke my heart especially given her situation
One day a NASA engineer that literally made the rover walking around on Mars, next day you’re a master prankster vigilante working with the police to unmask scammers. What the heck dude
I love how this all started with a prank against porch pirates and is now a full blown operation of taking down legitimate scammers! NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!!!
Jim does that all time you should really check out his channel if you like that. he doesn't have fancy glitter boxes but he stops a lot of scams and reports a lot to authorities.
My grandmother was called by a scammer saying there was an issue with windows on her laptop and she led them on for 45 minutes pretending she thought they were talking about the windows on her house.
I may just be being overemotional here, but I cried a little bit when the scammer told Phyllis she reminded him of his grandmother. The fact that a person could build the trust of such a sweet, innocent old lady just so they can steal her life savings and ruin her life is just heartbreaking.
As a cybersecurity guy, I can tell you that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's crazy how more and more sophisticated these attacks are getting lately.
One hint: If your elderly relatives are likely to get called by scammers, tell them to say that they don't have a computer. It's a real turn-off to scammers!
Jokes on them, my grandmother has a special phone and no computer. And my other grandparents know about scammers and have no computer... and none of my grandparents have internet
I am 74 and get frequent scammers calling me.. Sometimes I play with them for awhile and then tell them to get a real job and stop stealing money. It is sad how so many people fall for their scams.
The problem isn't that they don't have emotions or empathy, the problem is that they're just apathetic. It's extremely easy to "press the button," so to speak, when the victim is confirmed to be on the other side of the world and have no relation to you what so ever. Some of the guys in that video could easily have been your friend online. Everybody here in the comment section could wax poetic all day and night about what we could do to deter things like this, but the cheapest thing we can do is spread awareness. Stay safe Hammies!

My great grandma got a call from a scammer and she was going along with what the scammer was telling her to do for about 20 minutes. then the scammer told her to click on an icon on the screen. she told the scammer that she didn’t see the icon on her screen. The scammer was confused about why she didn’t see the icon until my great grandma said “maybe its because I don’t have a computer.” So basically my great grandma had wasted more than 20 minutes of the scammer’s time, which i think is great.
That’s so smart!
I always string them along as long as I can.
badass great grandma you got
Big brain grandma
Great grandma, Greater trickster.
You sir are a true hero.
Verified nice
Lol
Not all heroes wear capes
HOLY CRAP I used to watch you when I was a wee youngin
YESSIR
Love that you guys are working together for maximum impact (and a little entertainment for us). Keep it up!
This is like a movie plot, incredible quality!
Not as great as mine
Yoo, Hawks! I litterally had the same thought, lol. BTW, are you gonna update your site?
Yeah I thought that as well Hawk!

Thank you for doing this, Mark!
Ok, I'm normally a pretty calm and unbothered person, but the audio recording of the scammer scamming that woman litteraly made me sick. The pure manipulation and lies disgusted me completely. I cannot be more grateful for Mark to have helped put people like this behind bars, noone deserves to be treated like this, and those who willingly do these kinds of actions towards other people are really really despicable human beings.
🙏
What a disgusting human being
preach
Yeah totally I literally wanted to cry because of him just manipulating a innocent woman. I can only image how horrible it feels to be a victim in one of these scams.
I agree. Just horrible. Disgusting. I can't even believe that people would manipulate others like this. Especially the woman. She was basically being harassed by the man. It's just really really sad. I'm just angry right now. I don't know who would do this, especially for an amount like 20,000 dollars. It seems like she needed that money, and I feel bad. I don't have anything to do with this phone scamming, but I still feel bad.
I feel like the reason we all love this guy is because he never clickbaits, and he never brags about how smart he is.
He is a genius and he knows it, but he uses it to help others
So doesn’t mr beast
So true

her crying at 10:15 and him pretending to sympathise by saying "I'm getting attached to you" has my blood boiling. how do these people sleep at night? thank you for getting revenge on these terrible people.

This comment is awesome! Great job
that heartless scammer who kept saying how she was like his grandmother and proceeded to manipulate her and make her cry really broke my heart especially given her situation
i felt the same way
Yeah, he deserved to be arrested
yeah i commented the same thing :’(
If you go and listen to the some of the calls it's amazing how entitled these people are.
@@MCXL1140 we learnt a thing or two from the brits.

I love how this all started with a prank against porch pirates and is now a full blown operation of taking down legitimate scammers! NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!!!
Thank Jim Browning.
He ain’t a hero
A hacker, An engineer, A personal investigator walk into a bar.
Agreed
@@unoriginalcommentor6535 ok scammer
This has gone from simple pranks on people who steal packages to a full-on scamming takedown. This is truly incredible. MASTA-PIECE
This saga is a true masterpiece
True
I hope there's no revenge arc from the scammers
Jim does that all time you should really check out his channel if you like that. he doesn't have fancy glitter boxes but he stops a lot of scams and reports a lot to authorities.
My grandmother was called by a scammer saying there was an issue with windows on her laptop and she led them on for 45 minutes pretending she thought they were talking about the windows on her house.
That's brilliant! Still laughing. You go, granny!!!
Go Granny!
Mad respect for ta g-ma

@@someguywithhalfmustache9287 It means they can read.
I may just be being overemotional here, but I cried a little bit when the scammer told Phyllis she reminded him of his grandmother. The fact that a person could build the trust of such a sweet, innocent old lady just so they can steal her life savings and ruin her life is just heartbreaking.
same, i teared up a bit :/
You uh you want to dawn a certain set of armour and weapons and head over to india?
100% i nearly cried
Sad she trusted him so much
@@faddedreality6885 sure!
Let's go kill some scammers!
There are also a lot of scammers in Marruecos, might as well head there as well.
If the two ladys really had accidentally selected two day shipping, Gary would've received 30k and been very confused.

As a cybersecurity guy, I can tell you that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's crazy how more and more sophisticated these attacks are getting lately.
Care to elaborate? If you have link to articles etc, I'd love to know more!
@@lepsycho3691 nah let it be a secret ...
@@dipanwitanandi4274 nice try scammer, now spill the beans
Jim Browning knows
I got one from the “fbi” saying my ss number was compromised, it was in a Chinese accent so I was like “NOPE”
Gary’s reaction is simple to explain. Freaked out but not angry and scared because he’s innocent.
I dislike these scammers so much. I ordered a mic for recording audio for my channel from amazon and someone stole it yesterday from my porch.
@@DyslexicMitochondria Aw man that sucks. You got an amazing channel tho
@@DyslexicMitochondria Love your channel dude
Still kind of weird to open a package that is not addressed to you, no?
why did he open someone elses aka his tenants package
I'm really impressed by the empathy for the victims that you show here. Well done.

Thanks!
Just from a few harmless pranks, to catching nation-wide scammers, this man is gold
*International scammers. ;D
wholesome
Check out Jim Browning!
*International scammers even...
Apparently it takes a nasa engineer to help the police, maybe they should hire jobless nasa engineers to crack these scammers
This guy has met bill gates, the person who plays the kid in home alone, has multiple world records AND works with the FBI?!? This dude is the coolest
The coolest Uncle
Don't forget about NASA
Can agree
worked at a robot that landed on mars???
And was an engineer at NASA. For sure the coolest guy in the world lol
One hint: If your elderly relatives are likely to get called by scammers, tell them to say that they don't have a computer. It's a real turn-off to scammers!
my parents don't speak english at all, i think they are fine.
What's a computer?
@@ronanrobinson46 please tell me your joking-
@@mcchicken3218 your so narrow minded.
Jokes on them, my grandmother has a special phone and no computer. And my other grandparents know about scammers and have no computer... and none of my grandparents have internet
Dude you are a beast ! Digital Batman
I am 74 and get frequent scammers calling me.. Sometimes I play with them for awhile and then tell them to get a real job and stop stealing money. It is sad how so many people fall for their scams.
I'm glad to hear you are aware of these types of scammers and I chuckled a little bit when reading you have fun messing with them
Lol
@@MtDew-ci6gp 👽👺
I'm happy to hear that you are aware of scammers ma'am 😁
Awesome!
I can’t believe these scammers don’t have emotions or empathy when the victim is crying in sadness!
The problem isn't that they don't have emotions or empathy, the problem is that they're just apathetic. It's extremely easy to "press the button," so to speak, when the victim is confirmed to be on the other side of the world and have no relation to you what so ever. Some of the guys in that video could easily have been your friend online.
Everybody here in the comment section could wax poetic all day and night about what we could do to deter things like this, but the cheapest thing we can do is spread awareness. Stay safe Hammies!
I would show them the same empathy when torturing them for months until they died.
@Nicholas Abenroth duh. Its how the world works.
I've experienced it, they have no emotions except for wanting you to hurry with the money
